1977 Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser - Photo 01

The body of the Land Cruiser was in very good condition due to its time in the southern U.S. and only one small panel of the rig needed to be replaced due to corrosion. The team at Newcastle Motors in Simi Valley prepped and then painted the rig Platinum Metallic (an Audi color) with a Toyota-spec white roof and headlight rim. Other exterior mods include a pair of Hella headlights, a winch bumper with Warn winch, and a rear bumper with tire mount and jerrycan holder. A significant number of the rigs parts were powdercoated during the restoration process and the list includes the frame, axles, steering knuckles, steering shafts, steering arms, headlight buckets, foot pedals, rollcage, transmission mount, and the bumpers.
